Jesus continued to appear to His disciples (as many as 500 at one time) for forty days after He rose from the dead. Just after the Emmaeus Road appearance, the disiciples gathered together in a room which they locked to keep out the Roman authorities. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus appeared among them and spoke to them of peace.
For some reason, the disciple Thomas was not present with them. When the other disciples excitedly told him that they had actually seen the risen Lord, Thomas did not believe them. He would not believe until he saw for himself.
The next Sunday Thomas was with the other disciples, again in the locked room. Sure enough, Jesus appeared again, with a special message for Thomas. Jesus told him he could put his fingers into the nail wounds in Jesus’ hands and into His spear-wounded side. The Bible doesn’t say whether Thomas actually did so or not…but in any case Thomas fell to his knees and cried out to Jesus “My Lord and my God!”.
Jesus pointed out that Thomas believed because he had seen, but that many who had not seen also believed and were blessed. That includes us, who were not alive when Jesus was on the earth, but believe in Him through our faith and the account in the Bible record.
Join us this Sunday as we continue to celebrate Jesus’ rising from the dead and living today! Bring a friend.
Tom and Sydney Cook
